We're all just subterranean homesick aliens...

Last night I fell asleep with my patio window open and the curtains pulled back. I had my iPod repeating the Radiohead Ok Computer album. I awoke as the sun was rising to this playing in my ears:

Subterranean Homesick Alien

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air.

I live in a town
where you can't smell a thing,
you watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement.

Up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home,

of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.

They're all uptight…

I wish that they'd sweep down in a country lane,
late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board their beautiful ship,
show me the world as I'd love to see it.

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright.

I'm just uptight…

…So for the first time I went outside to watch the Sun rise as I smoked a fag and replayed the song. I've been on this Radiohead kick lately and to be honest I never really paid too much attention to this song before. It gave me this odd feeling as I listened to the lyrics and watch the night sky change. GOD I WISH I HAD A FUCKING DIGITAL CAMERA!! It was beautiful to say the least. I gained some sort of safety from this experience, and I had to share it…

Everyone should listen to or download this song to see what I'm talking about.

ADRIENNE HAS A NEW FAVORITE RADIOHEAD SONG!
